I think it’s interesting that when presented with a disagreement between a modernist poet and a CIA guy about whether modernist poetry is subversive, a whole sector of communists simply assumes that the CIA guy must be right.

It's not compatible with the idea that people are born free and innocent.
Again, I can't get over the disgust of this hypothetical dropped casually as a "controversial opinion".
This ranks somewhere near "absolute monarchy" in "ideas modern humans have moved beyond"

More than a few people have been talking about wanting to "go back" to 2015, before the Trump era. So I wrote a highly self-indulgent thing about what 2015 was like and how the last decade happened.

Sometimes you play a game that moves you so much you dust off your blog and get to work. Skate Story by @bysameng.com is one such game.
I wrote about public spaces, permission and pain and how all of these things feed skating culture. Thanks for reading!

nothing Lynch says here is wrong. He is accurately describing how our system works. this is why we should y'know. replace it.
Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
